About our fire rated sealant in Britwell
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Britwell normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Homes in smaller places like Britwell can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What affects the quote in Britwell
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Britwell: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Britwell?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Burnham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work in Britwell?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Britwell included.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. A visit to Britwell is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access

Workplaces and buildings in Britwell
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Britwell has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Claycots School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Britwell?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Rented homes near Burnham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
